To enjoy this ice cream, simply remove it from the freezer and let it soften slightly for a few minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to become more yielding. Scoop generous portions into bowls or cones. It can also be incorporated into various dessert preparations. For milkshakes, combine it with milk and any desired flavorings in a blender until smooth and creamy. It pairs well with warm brownies or cookies.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining ice cream in its original container, tightly sealed, in the freezer. To prevent freezer burn, press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the ice cream before replacing the lid. Consume within a few weeks for best quality.
